The dumping of brine in the ground is actually prohibited in accordance with the Environmental Activities Decree. The province of Flevoland, together with those involved in the cultivation sector of Luttelgeest, is researching possibilities for a more sustainable supply of irrigation water. This requires more time than originally anticipated, which is why the Provincial-Executive decided to allow for the dumping of brine in the grounds of Hoogweg Luttelgeest under conditions until the 30th of June, 2020.
